If you’ve paid attention to any contemporary hip-hop recently, you’ve probably heard the phrase “Free Max B.” It’s been a consistent meme in the genre for at least five years, with everyone from Curren$y to Drake adding their take on it—even Jay-Z, who was soundly dismissed by Cam’ron in 2006 on “You Gotta Love It” (with a hook provided by Wingate), gave a nod on last year’s “3 Kings” with Rick Ross and Dr. Dre. On the cover of February’s XXL, French Montana proudly displayed his “Free Max B” T-shirt next to A$AP Rocky.

The first petition was rejected for failing to meet the government's criteria.

Thanks to everyone who took time to create an account and signed our first petition on Whitehouse.gov. Unfortunately we failed to meet the signature threshold for this time. However it's not over and a new petition will be set up every month until we reach our goal!

If this new petition gets 100,000 signatures by July 22, 2014, the White House will review it and the Obama Administration will issue an official response!
